Sticking to the tradition of hiding pickles in Christmas trees, we hid 5 pickles in the video for our viewers to find. Can you spot them all? 🥒
-
Every year I still search to no avail for the ornament I broke when I was a kid. Seriously thinking of hiring a glass blower to make one
-
Ugh this brought back so many memories. My grandparents collected Inge glas ornaments over their lifetyle and passed them down to us. So our trees growing up year after year were almost entirly glass ornaments from this company. They shined and sparkled unlike anything you'd find on trees today. Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship. Gonna have to see which of my siblings got those from my mom and make a deal hahaha
-
I had an uncle who spent time in Germany in the 80s he gave my mother 4 of those birds. I always wondered about them because they were so different, and I could tell my mom cared about them.
-
Please never let this company die. I wish you guys would provide links to their website so we could purchase directly to support their business. ❤❤❤
-
I’ve been collecting Inge Glas ornaments for 25 years and now I’ve started a collection for 2 of my grandchildren. We love them!
-
as a glassblower /lampworker myself, I love seeing other people working with glass. Its harder than it looks
-
I actually live only a 15min drive away from the Inge Glass factory. We have so many beautfiul ornaments from them we never bought or will buy cheap plastic ones. They just don't compare to these masterpieces. Living close to the factory we can buy them for a very affordable price in the outlet though so that's a bonus.

This is remarkable!! 15 generations??? That is incredible. I’m so glad Steffi is keeping her family tradition alive. I want an ornament for myself. Now I have to find them. 🎄🎄🎄🎄
-
I started collecting Inge-Glas in the 1990’s. I fell in love with the story of how the company started and continued after WWII. These are treasures.
-
My mom has 2 or 3 of the bird ornaments, which have been passed down from 4 plus generations. Even after 100 plus years they are still beautiful.

A business model that is not structured for efficiency. The rhythm and frequency is just so calm, beautiful
-
If I could. I would love to work in a factory like this. I have always been self employed and owned my own businesses but I love Xmas so much I think I could do it if I lived in that country. Look like peaceful work. Y’all are lucky to work there imo.

What a wonderful video! Growing up, my family had this type of ornaments on our tree. I wanted the same style, and over the years I've collected over 120 unique ornaments - all blown and painted glass, and all from somewhere in Germany or eastern Europe. Some of mine do have the star-shaped top, but I'm not sure they are authentic from this manufacturer. This year I added a gingerbread man. Such a fun thing to collect! Next year, I'm going to try and find one from Inge-Glas.

I can easily distinguish the European ornaments from Chinese ones! The attention to details in the European ornaments is impeccable. I have only glass ornaments that are made in Germany, Poland, Italy and mercury ornaments made in India. I love those glass ornaments. They are expensive but worth every penny. Its sad plastic crap has taken over in everything by compromising the quality. I would love to visit Lauscha. Thank you for visiting Germany and sharing this video.
-
What an incredible report! I just love watching it and really hope this family will always be making these beautiful ornaments forever!
-
I love their ornaments I have been collecting for 50 years it's not Christmas without them merry Christmas ❤️
-
In our house there are NO plastic ornaments, NO ornaments from China. I add new ones every year. Call me old fashioned but I'll be so bold as to say, it's beautiful.
-
I understand why we keep the tag on from the year I was born on now from this company. holy moly
-
All of my ornaments are glass, I don’t want plastic on my tree. I’m so glad to see this tradition continue. Great video, thanks for sharing!
